AI & I: Cracking The COVID code.

The Master Edition of AI & I: Cracking the COVID Code has gone down a storm.

To make the audiobook, I had to rework much of the data held in tables and charts. You can’t read a table aloud. So I had the AI simplify its answers while staying true to the original.

The result was a faster, cleaner read. Hence the new books.

The full Master Edition stays available.

The three new books cover the same ground, with less data and more flow:

  1. The Architecture of Deception (out now)
  2. Connecting the Dots (coming soon)
  3. Frequency of Freedom (coming soon)

Each is around 250 pages, against the Master Edition’s 700. Short enough to finish, full enough to give you the whole picture.

AI & I: Cracking the Corona Code by Mark Playne

You knew. Not from a headline. Not from a briefing. From somewhere deeper. A quiet, persistent feeling that refused to go away, even when you tried to ignore it.

The official story did not fully add up. The numbers shifted. The language felt carefully managed. Institutions and governments across the world began to speak in strikingly similar ways, using the same phrases, often at the same time.

Something about it felt unusual.

You were not driven by fear, but you could sense something was off. Not necessarily clear, not fully formed, but enough to pause, to question, to hold your ground.

At times, you may even have wondered if you were mistaken.

Relationships were tested. Some were lost. Others emerged in unexpected places, with people asking similar questions, trying to make sense of the same uncertainty.

Years later, many are still processing what happened. The pressure, the decisions, the shifting guidance, and the impact on trust in institutions that once felt stable.

This book does not begin with a conclusion.

It begins with questions.

AI & I: Cracking the Corona Code is what happens when an award-winning writer and filmmaker, after years of examining data, reporting on adverse events, and following the wider conversation, takes a different approach. Instead of relying on commentary alone, he cross-examines an artificial intelligence, pressing beyond its initial responses and testing the consistency of its reasoning across topics such as vaccination, excess deaths, treatment protocols, and institutional silence.

★★★★★

"This book mirrors a barrister teasing the evidential truth from a reluctant witness. Under scrutiny, the AI gives full and frank answers that will shock you." 

Ian Humphries, Former Police Investigator

The result is a forensic dialogue — human intuition versus machine reasoning — that has been called one of the most significant investigations of the pandemic era. Rigorous enough for scientists. Accessible enough for anyone. Polished enough to place in the hands of your GP.

★★★★★

"The link between solar activity and influenza was jaw-dropping." 

Dan Roberts

The 2026 edition is the most complete version to date. Professionally edited and expanded with international data, updated graphs, and a central infographic designed to clarify the core argument. New sections provide practical tools for navigating future uncertainty.

A foreword from a retired GP, with over four decades of experience, raises a simple question to his former colleagues: whether silence is still compatible with their professional oath.

★★★★★

"This book does not demand belief. It demands attention."  

Dr Philip Stowell

It is also a guide to using large language models more effectively. How to move beyond surface-level responses and examine the underlying logic more carefully.

Above all, it is an attempt to bring clarity.

To revisit the questions that many people carried quietly, and to explore them in a structured and transparent way.

That nagging feeling you carried — through the arguments, the isolation, the moments you almost gave in — was not anxiety. It was not paranoia. It was not confusion. It was your mind and intuition working in perfect harmony.

★★★★★

"This is a gift to humanity." 

Sian Davies Shipton

★★★★★

"Maybe the most important book I have read."
